bumpers.

[Christ]

My car is atm burgandy red, my plan was to get skirts and paint them dark grey gloss, and get the front and back bumpers painted the same colour. Maybe paint the front grill grey aswell.

the reason im doing it two toned like that is because i dont want to do a full respray

Its just standard bumpers at the moment, how would they look painted up? Im also getting cav gsi alloys.

I dont know whether i should just get the gsi bumpers at the same time as i get skirts.

people say either 'gsi kits are too comon' or 'std plastic looks too plain' what do you think?

when i get the thing tidyed up a bit i will maybe ask someone to photoshop some colours for me.

If you paint the grill grey to match the bumpers on a mk2 then it'll look a bit odd IMO. Grey GSi bumpers and skirts look good, is this the colour of your car? (Hope you don't mind me using your car Nick :D)

I presume your bumpers are the original faded grey colour ? If so get some bumper black mate . Scrub the bumpers clean let em dry out , and then slap the stuff on layer after layer .
cheap as chips.

If you do go with the Back to Black method, make sure you definently dont want to paint them in the future.
I used back to black for a few months, and it then took a whole bottle of meths and a few hours of sanding to get the silicone off the bumper so i could spray it,lol.

AutoGlym bumper/trim shine is the stuff you want :wink: Its s**t hot stuff :)
